Product details
Overview
PT7A7514WE from Diodes Incorporated is a precision μP supervisor IC designed for power-up, brownout, and power-fail monitoring in microprocessor systems. It features a 2.93V reset threshold, 200ms active-low reset pulse width, debounced manual reset input, independent 1.6s watchdog timer, and 1.25V power-fail comparator - deployed in embedded industrial controllers requiring reliable supply supervision.
For engineers reviewing the PT7A7514WE datasheet, PT7A7514WE pinout, PT7A7514WE application, or PT7A7514WE equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy (±1.5%), guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1.2V, WDI edge-sensitive watchdog timing, and SOIC-8 compatibility with TTL/CMOS logic interfaces.
Technical Context
The PT7A7514WE implements a precision bandgap-based voltage monitor with 2.93V nominal reset threshold (±1.5% over −40°C to +85°C), coupled to a monostable reset generator delivering a guaranteed 200ms low-active pulse. Its manual reset input (MR) accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels and includes internal 250µA pull-up for switch debouncing.
A dedicated watchdog circuit monitors WDI transitions with 1.6s timeout (typical), clearing automatically on MR assertion or RESET activation; WDO asserts low on timeout or during VCC undervoltage, while PFI/PFO provide independent 1.25V threshold detection for power-fail or low-battery warning signals.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.93V ±1.5% - ensures reliable reset assertion during 3.3V system brownout before critical logic fails. |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200ms (160–280ms) - meets minimum reset hold time for ARM Cortex-M0/M3 and legacy 8051 microcontrollers. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s (1.2–2.25s) - provides sufficient margin for firmware watchdog service intervals in real-time control loops. |
| Power-Fail Threshold | 1.25V ±20mV - enables accurate battery voltage monitoring down to single-cell Li-ion or alkaline cutoff. |
| VCC Operating Range | 3.0V to 5.5V - supports dual-rail 3.3V/5V systems without external level-shifting. |
| Supply Current | 30µA typical (200µA max) - enables always-on supervision in battery-backed applications with <1-year shelf life. |
| RESET Validity | Guaranteed at VCC ≥ 1.2V - ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout recovery. |
Pinout & Package
PT7A7514WE is housed in an industry-standard 8-pin SOIC (W), 150mil wide, RoHS-compliant package with gull-wing leads and 1.27mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (MR) | Manual Reset Input | Active-low TTL/CMOS-compatible trigger; internal 250µA pull-up enables push-button use without external resistor. |
| 2 (VCC) | Positive Supply | Primary power rail input (3.0–5.5V); powers all internal comparators, timers, and output drivers. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common return path for all analog and digital functions; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 4 (PFI) | Power-Fail Input | Monitors external voltage divider; asserts PFO low when input falls below 1.25V reference. |
| 5 (WDO) | Watchdog Output | Open-drain active-low signal indicating watchdog timeout or VCC undervoltage; requires external pull-up. |
| 6 (RESET) | Reset Output | Active-low open-drain output; pulses low for 200ms on power-up/brownout and remains valid down to 1.2V VCC. |
| 7 (WDI) | Watchdog Input | Edge-sensitive input; rising/falling edges reset 1.6s timer; floating disables watchdog function. |
| 8 (PFO) | Power-Fail Output | Open-drain active-low output signaling PFI < 1.25V; used for battery-low alerts or auxiliary shutdown sequencing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision Voltage Monitoring | 2.93V reset threshold with ±1.5% tolerance ensures consistent brownout response across temperature and supply variance. |
| Guaranteed Low-Voltage Operation | RESET remains functional down to VCC = 1.2V - critical for safe recovery in ultra-low-power wake-up sequences. |
| Integrated Watchdog Timer | 1.6s timeout with edge-triggered WDI eliminates need for external RC timing components in safety-critical firmware. |
| Dual-Function Power-Fail Detection | Independent 1.25V comparator (PFI/PFO) supports both battery monitoring and auxiliary supply fault signaling. |
| Debounced Manual Reset | Internal 250µA pull-up and 200ms pulse width eliminate external debounce circuitry for front-panel reset buttons. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar μP supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326UT29D3+T | 2.93V reset threshold, 200ms pulse, no watchdog, SOT23-5 package | Lacks WDI/WDO and PFI/PFO; suitable only for basic reset-only use cases | Select when board space is constrained and watchdog/power-fail functions are handled elsewhere. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V reset threshold, adjustable delay, no PFI/PFO, 6-pin SOT23 | Higher threshold incompatible with 3.3V brownout detection; no power-fail comparator | Choose only if system operates strictly above 3.0V and requires programmable reset delay. |
Compared with MAX6326UT29D3+T and TPS3808G33DBVR, PT7A7514WE uniquely integrates 2.93V precision reset, 1.6s watchdog, and 1.25V power-fail detection in a single SOIC-8 package - enabling compact, feature-complete supervision without external components.

FAQ
What is the minimum VCC required for PT7A7514WE to assert a valid RESET signal?
The PT7A7514WE guarantees RESET functionality down to VCC = 1.2V, with output voltage ≤0.4V under 3.2mA sink load. This ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout recovery, even when main supply collapses below typical logic thresholds.
Can the watchdog timer be disabled without removing the WDI connection?
Yes - leaving WDI floating or connecting it to a high-impedance three-state buffer disables the watchdog timer. The internal timer remains cleared and inactive until WDI is actively driven high or low with defined edges.
How does the PFI/PFO function differ from the main reset circuitry?
PFI/PFO operates independently of the reset threshold: it compares external voltage against a fixed 1.25V reference and asserts PFO low when PFI drops below that value. Unlike RESET, it has no timing delay or hysteresis and can be used for battery monitoring or auxiliary supply fault signaling.
Is PT7A7514WE qualified for automotive applications per AEC-Q100?
No - PT7A7514WE is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes Incorporated offers separate AEC-Q100-qualified supervisors (e.g., APX803L series) for automotive use; this device is intended for industrial, medical, and commercial applications.
